Rating: Summary: Jenna Mills is a new author to watch! Review: William "Liam" Armstrong is haunted by the demons of his past. The mother of his daughter disappeared seventeen years earlier, and although never accused of any crime, the police and media have always thought of him as the number one suspect in her disappearance. Now, Liam's daughter Emily is missing, and the detective assigned to the missing person case, is the daughter of the man who went to his grave believing Liam guilty of murder. Detective Jessica "Jess" Clark knows that the most likely suspect in Emily's disappearance is Liam. But one look at the distraught man's face tells her that he doesn't know what happened to Emily. However, Liam is determined to believe that she won't really help him because she is the daughter of the man who tried so desperately to put him behind bars. When a taunting message about Emily is delivered to Jessica's house rather than Liam's, Jess knows that someone is out to play games with both of them. Liam doesn't want to fall for the detective looking for Emily, but her determination and strength ease the pain in his soul. Jessica in turn doesn't plan on falling for Liam, but she sees in him a loving and desperate father, and a man that needs the love she wants to give. Jenna Mills has written a deeply moving and touching love story that revolves around a seventeen year old mystery. If you enjoy reading Linda Howard or Nora Roberts, Ms. Mills will be a new treat for you. I look forward to many more reads from this talented author.
Rating: Summary: Mills crafts a SUPER tale!! Review: Years ago Liam Armstrong was accused of killing his wife. The bad boy from the bad background was suddenly a multimillionaire and everyone was willing to see him take the fall. Especially Wallace Clarke, the police inspector. He considers the fact he could never make a case because her body was never found, the stain on his career. Liam Armstrong has long hated Wallace Clarke for his merciless hounding. But now decades later, Liam must form an uneasy alliance with Wallace's daughter Jessica. His daughter is missing. At first it is believed she ran off with a boyfriend, but they quickly rule this out. Liam does not trust Jessica, but she is the only one who will listen to him and believe he would not harm his daughter. Jessisa is not daddy's little girl. A storm relationship and childhood with her father, left her rebellious and out to prove she was her own person. She rose thought the ranks of detective not on daddy's name, but through her own hard work. Instant sparks fly between these two and the relationship builds high sexual tension and both do not trust the other, but slowly come to respect the other and see the person within. Liam is a bad boy ala Anne Stuart tradition. And you cannot help but love him. Jessica, is bright, strong, and a fully fleshed out character you will admire. Jenna Mills proves she is a writer to watch. If she keeps up this level of quality, you will soon see her writing big books!! Great job Ms. Mills!! Highly Recommend!
